I like the idea of a corn maze - but agree that if you are going for tension it needs more. Maybe more of a birds eye view? Seeing a large corn maze and how far he is from the exit? I know that these things can be daunting/frustrating, as my family enjoys doing them in the fall and after you have been walking for a while and hit another dead end, it becomes crazy frustrating.
Just a thought to how you could push the concept further.
Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I LOVE her outfit! Those boots and socks are adorable. If they are meant to be wellies, they are typically a bit wider at the top not as fitted to the leg, she looks so focused with her toy. fun piece and great idea for #100 somethings.

Hi and welcome! I hope to stay awake for 3rd Thursday tomorrow night -there have been so many creative submissions being posted that it would be wonderful to hear the critiques live.
Your monkey character is cute and part of a very playful collection of characters.

It takes courage to put your art out there, so I think it is great that you are doing just that! Being around other creatives and absorbing that good energy is never a bad thing. I took part in a First Look Panel at a SCBWI event where (3) art directors in the publishing world were commenting on the artwork on screen. Yes, certainly butterflies BUT it was a great way to see and hear their take on your work while retaining your anonymity. I mean you can tell the person next to you that the artwork on screen is yours, (or not) but I took notes throughout the presentation and was able to learn a lot from what they had to say about a variety of artwork. Good luck to you and enjoy yourself!

It depends on the sketchbook... if the paper is thin (Moleskine Cahier) I tend to draw on one side because the paper is thin and the artwork often shows through. For a thick weight I use both pages.
For a colored sketchbook I tried out the 5.5 x 8.5" Strathmore Toned Tan and it is a good size, portable and fun to sketch with.
Happy Sketching!
